Curriculum-aligned programs for K–12 schools across Ontario. Programs are co-designed with school partners, blending academics with wilderness skills, leadership development, and ecological literacy.

A new outdoor-classroom initiative — co-designed with four boards across southwestern Ontario and launching September 2026 — will bring permacognitive education to fourteen new schools in its first year.

Grow WILDE has been recognised by the Canadian Coalition for Environmental Education with their 2026 National Sustainability in Schools award — the first time a non-school organisation has received it.

Our newest Natural Learning Campus — a five-acre regenerative schoolyard with outdoor classrooms, a teaching kitchen, and a working watershed — is now open to partner schools across Grey-Bruce.

A new community garden at our partner school in Collingwood, designed and planted with K–6 students over the spring, has become an outdoor classroom and a working food source for the local food bank.

CBC Toronto profiled Grow WILDE as part of a national feature on the schools redesigning their curriculum around outdoor learning — and the K–6 test-score gains that have followed.
